Bobcat Golf Ranked Second for Second Week

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - For the second-straight
week, the Georgia College & State University golf program and
head coach Jimmy Wilson has
earned the No. 2 slot in the Nike Golf/Golf World NCAA
Division II Top-25.

The Bobcats have appeared in every poll this season, jumping to
No. 2 on the April 1 version. Georgia College garnered four
first-place votes.

The latest poll had the top two slots the same as the previous
edition, with the University of Central Oklahoma dropping from
third to fourth and Nova Southeastern University stepping up to
third. Peach Belt Conference (PBC) school Columbus State University
retains the top honor, with PBC school USC Aiken taking fifth.

In other PBC honors, Lander University stands No. 13, while PBC
Champions Clayton State University are No. 15.

The Bobcats are truly a balanced squad, picking up two All-PBC
honorees in Niclas Johansson
(Skanor, Sweden) and Joe Young (Cochran,
Ga.) but no starter has higher than a 74.6 stroke average.

The Bobcats await selections for the NCAA Southeast Region
Championship, a tournament they won in 2008. This year's region
championship will be held in Florence, Ala., hosted by the
University of North Alabama.
